[edit] Steve Brookstein

Steve Brookstein (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Technical nomination. Someone claiming to be Steve Brookstein, using an IP address, took offense at this article and some comments I put on the talk page (which I incidentally regret), and blanked out his page. I have a watch on this article. The page itself is not very good, lacks sources, and was subject to quite a few changes by editors who inserted fairly POV remarks, often without adequate sourcing. "Steve" posted comments on my talk page here to the effect, and I therefore nominate this for deletion. No vote from me. Ohconfucius 01:50, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Keep he's had a UK #1 single, a UK #1 album, not to mention winning X Factor. Probably needs tidying up, but its existence isn't in doubt. EliminatorJR Talk 01:57, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep but improve article urgently (I regret that I don't have the subject-matter knowledge to do so). Advise Steve Brookstein of OTRS procedure for article subjects with BLP concerns. Newyorkbrad 02:12, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment I've removed the bit about the Four Vandals hoax, which although linked doesn't actually lead to any WP:RS confirmation of the story, plus a few other bits, but most of the rest is sourced; it's the negative tone that's probably the problem. EliminatorJR Talk 02:45, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep I have to agree with Eliminator and the article is sourced. --Ozgod 02:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - Not liking the article as it stands right now is not reason enough to delete it altogether. --Hnsampat 04:03, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - also agree with Eliminator; subject is notable --Heliumballoon 10:53, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep Definitely notable. Maxamegalon2000 12:09, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, I don't see why an article of a singer who had number 1's in UK be deleted.--JForget 13:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and clean. Subject is notable enough. ~ SEEnoEVIL punch the keys 14:47, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, but the page definitely needs improvement. — AnemoneProjectors (zomg!) 18:18, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - definitely meets WP:MUSIC, but as above, the article needs work. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:42, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. Meets our WP:MUSIC guideline, but remove any content which does not strictly adhere to WP:A and WP:BLP policy. Burntsauce 22:10, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
